After reading when you furiously wound the Rhino fans up during the World Club Challenge, I'll gladly buy you a pint in Cas if you come to a game. (You can hold me to that!)

Another good thng about coming to Cas is the ground and atmosphere. Ok, we all know we need a new ground but many RL fans really enjoy coming to Cas and it's one of their favourite grounds due to the fact you seem so close to the players. The atmosphere can be electric and if our form continues and we give Leeds a game it's definatley one you should be there to witness. Often this fixture is pushing 10k and even more and all though you might be used to more than this in Oz, when Wheldon Road has 10k fans in it's rocking.

Where would you be travelling from if you make your visit to Cas? And as already said, make it known to the club you'll be there and they'll give you a shout out i'm sure.

I live in West London mate.

I'm leaving the UK at the end of the year for (hopefully) sunnier climes. I've travelled around the UK a bit since Ive been here but I fancy taking a couple more footy matches in before I leave forever.

It might not be advisable to get the announcer to say 'Ladies and Gentlemen Barry McKenzie from RLFans is in' just incase I [imay[/i have said something in the past on these forums that might have caused offence to someone



Its a long journey back down the M1 to London with 2 broken legs and a programme shoved up my clacker

Go to the Cas-Leeds game, I'll happily chat about the game on the way back to the smoke - just avoid tb on the train...

West London. So you'll have been to a few Quins games i'm sure. Have you sampled many other grounds? What are your thoughts on SL, players stadiums or whatever? I'm always interested in what players and fans from down under think when they sample our game. We usually only hear from the players that they are amazed at the crowd, the singing etc but not much else.

I think most RL fans in this country will admit our game isn't up to the standard of Aussie rugby, at least not so much on a grand scale. We don't yet have the quality in depth, all though some would argue that this is often our own fault for not throwing more effort at our youngsters when we can sign a second rate aussie instead.

You won't be going to Hull, Gateshead, Huddersfield or Sheffield then.

Not in Cas mate. Souths shirts sell in Cas because that's where we got Dean Widders from.

I've avoided attending Twickenham Stoop for any Harlequins matches. I drink with a couple of blokes who have been there and they told me not to waste my money. The footy is poor, there is no atmosphere, no decent players in the squad these days and I think this is reflected when you look at Quins results and attendances. Personally I'd sooner hang on to the money I would have forked out on a Quins ticket and swap it for pies and VB down Shepherds Bush Walkabout. The only time I have been to a game at the Stoop was the Australia V NZ 4 nations last year.

But I must be honest... I'm missing a bit of live footy. Since I've been in the UK I've seen SL matches at Hull, Wigan, Saint Helens, Huddersfield...and Celtic Crusaders v Leeds at Newport last year...a game which put me off attending any others.

I'm genuinely looking forward to checking Castleford Tigers out. I've always admired Tawera Nikau and the way he has overcome the obstacles in his life. He always spoke highly of Castleford and the supporters when he played for Cronulla Sharks. As did Mitch Healey.

The broken legs might be a bit of a problem, with regards to the programme. Don't knock it 'till youv'e tried it!

Ahh, VB!! Hows I miss its flavours. I spent a year in Oz and I recon VB must have had a bumper year that year due to the amount of their product I consumed!

Thanks to the miracle that is the 'Walkabout' you can now enjoy the cool crisp taste of Australias favourite cold beer over here in England.

Check out their website... there will be one near you.

Even my local Morrisons stock it now.

Of course, I have been to the one in Cardiff, when I was over there for the MM.
